Some people say, "If you trust in God's unconditional love, why do you need to pray?" A better ending is "why wouldn't you want to?"

To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive.

People with a lot of theological study and no prayer life are dangerous... and not in a good way.

Oh, how much holier the world would be if more people invoked their right to remain silent.

Pentecost is a celebration of God... a celebration of God's power... a celebration of God's desire to empower us and to dwell within us.

Enthusiasm is contagious - so is a lack of it. Joyless Christians are a greater assault on the gospel than atheism.

Preaching Christ's truth always bears fruit. Of course, some people will probably end up wanting to throw that fruit at you.
